When I add a cronjob that has a backslash inside, the backslash is removed by function escapeshellarg(). After adding a cronjob successfully, I cannot get cronjob list because the backslash is not escaped, so PHP cannot decode JSON

Why not create a .sh script with your cron in, and then just invoke that? Bit of a work around but should do the trick

Thank @youradds for your suggestion. I love to use GUI to manage directly, I'm a lazy man. Each cronjob will have a different run time, so I must create many .sh files for each job. (Login FTP > Create .sh > Add command line > Add cronjob). If I can manage from the control panel, I only need to add a cronjob from the control panel without doing anything else.

Fair enough. You can easily pass in params via a bash script with $1, $2 etc. Thats how I do it with some of mine.

This is alredy discused here some times

For now better fix to this is fun a script with your cron, no any other official solution for now.
